The publication has evaluated a total of 41 types of diets with a panel of experts - whose profile can be consulted in this list - who have studied each meal plan taking into account their safety, if they are easy to follow and also if they are nutritious diets and effective for weight loss.

DASH diet
Secondly, we find the DASH Diet, developed for those who suffer from high blood pressure and not as a multi-use diet.

DASH corresponds to the acronym in English of Food Approaches to Stop Hypertension (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension).
Egalitarian Diet
The Egalitarian Diet remains in third place, and has obtained good scores in terms of nutritional security, the ease of being able to follow it and lose weight in the long term. Recall that this is the "flexible" practice of vegetarianism: most of the food is based on products of plant origin, but meat or other animal foods can be eaten sporadically or in small quantities.
The BBC explained only a couple of months ago why this type of food can help save the planet.
MIND diet
The MIND Diet, in fourth place, gathers aspects of the DASH and the Mediterranean diet and focuses on foods that specifically affect brain health.
